Unfortunately not - in AKL. But thanks Skolink for your generous offer!!

Looking back, it looks like I downloaded the August release of the image rather than the later Dec version anyway. So might try re-imaging again with the later Dec image somewhere else.

I read a note on the Oztivo wiki that some people have experienced problems when imaging the drive off a "recent" PC, and have experienced success after re-imaging again off an older PC. Anyone able to confirm this - and why it might be the case?

I've got a Seagate 250G drive in there ... which was working AOK under the old setup. As far as I can tell the drive actually spins up OK when the TiVo is powered up. This post : http://forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=1431 - suggests that when TiVo gets stuck at the "Your TiVo is starting up" screen, it's because it can't see the disk or there's a problem with the image. Given the disk was previously fine, and seemed to work fine when plugged into another PC to image it, I suspect it's the image itself that's at fault.

I wonder whether it might be a good idea to do a low-level format of the drive before I reimage. I think there might be a machine at work I can use to do the imaging.

Thanks all anyway!!

Cheers
